About

An aggressive mix of leveraged U.S. stocks, global value stocks, very long Treasuries, gold, and managed futures. Built to chase growth while holding different shock absorbers. Expect big ups and downs; it’s for long-term, risk-tolerant investors.
NutHow it works
It splits money into five funds: a turbocharged U.S. stock fund (UPRO), a global value-stock fund (AVGV), very long U.S. Treasury bonds (GOVZ), gold (GLDM), and a trend-following fund (DBMF). Targets: 16/24/24/18/18%. No automatic rebalancing.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
